The Bad News Bears



Wow. This movie is so racist. It's crazy. Well, Tanner is really racist. This movie is just a bystander who does nothing about it! But anyway, this is thoroughly enjoyable. From the swearing to the bullying, this all feels like the 70s. None of this shit would fly anymore. The star player smokes and rides a motorcycle without a helmet despite being 11. Their shortstop utters every racial slur in the book. The coach is drunk the entire movie. If he doesn't have a beer in his hand, he is blowing the smoke from his cigar into the face of innocent children! But behind all that, this movie has a lot of heart and one hell of a catchy name. There are sequels and even a remake, but none of 'em are quite as good as the original. If you haven't seen it, I suggest it. You can't help but smile.
